Arch shapes are hand-cut from copper sheet and enameled in a beautiful shade of teal blue-green. A triangular pyramid pattern and an all-seeing eye adorn each earring. Hand-hammered sterling silver dangles and ear wires. Very mystical!
The Eye of Providence (or the All-Seeing Eye) is a well-known and popular symbol. The Eye of Providence is a symbol that depicts an eye, often enclosed in a triangle and surrounded by rays of light or glory, meant to represent divine providence, whereby an all-seeing eye watches over humanity. It has been used for centuries in both religious and secular contexts, and therefore its representation can be found in many places. For Americans, The Eye of Providence is most commonly found on the reverse of the United States one-dollar bill. This design is in turn derived from the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States. The Eye of Providence can also represent good luck and protection from of evil.
The copper shapes are carefully cleaned and prepared in order to accept the enamel. Then, I apply multiple layers of enamel, which is finely powdered glass. The layers of enamel are fused to the copper on both sides in a 1500 degree kiln. This firing process is repeated several times. Finally, the edges are sanded to expose the copper. And voila .... a vibrantly colored pair of enamel earrings which will make a great gift for yourself or a loved one.
Each earring measures 2 5/8" from the top of the ear wire, and 3/4" wide.
